I just bought a boat with a non running atomic 4 for $2000. Turns out besides a clogged up carburetor, it had a weak spark.
The cause of the weak spark was a that the points were badly misadjusted.
Points gap as way too far open for spark to build up enough to fire correctly.
New carb.
Adjusted points.
Motor runs sweet.
